Hi,
i´m not usual in Theravada but i do know about the 8 janas. These eight jhnas are also refered in the Dighanikayo, the longer collection of the three books. What a theravada should consider, that the sixth jana, there are two more behind nibbanam.

There are only four rupa jhanas. Others are called the four immaterial attainments, which are not essential to nibbana.
